MRSA is an infection and it is very bad!. You can get it from many things like sharing towels, scratches, touching infected items, and more!. It is very contagious although it is carried in the nose of most people!.If you get it they will usually give a tube of salve to you for evrybody in the house to use!. The bacteria is carried in the nose so they will put the salve in their nose every night!. I knew some people who had that got it all the time, they would take antibiotics for it and the salve!. Plus bleach everything in the house!. You can pass it on easily and from anything even if you get the infection on your shirt you can pass it to another!. Use hand sanitizer alot!. My son got the infection and had it lanced!. Then when he fell it wasn't completely cleaned out so it popped up next to where it was lanced so we had to carry him to get it removed by surgery!. He was in the hospital for a week and we were not allowed to leave his room because he was contagious, anybody who came in had to sanitize their hands right away and anybody who left had to sanitize their hands before leaving!. One woman was scared to come in our room becuase we had the bio hazard signs all over our door!. Not fun!. But since he was in the hospital and it was removed by surgery he never got it back!. The people who only used antibiotics got it back!. I got it once from trying on a pair of sandals in the store!. In the hospital they lanced it and did not remove all of the infection so the next morning when I got up my foot was so swollen that it had turned purple!. When I went to the doctor he said the infection was so bad it would be best if I went in the hospital but i never leave my kids so I refused!. He had me on antibiotics and a strong antibiotic shot as well!. I had to go in everyday to have a shot for almost a week!. This infection is bad and very painful!. Whoever gave you the tatoo must have had an infection or not clean items but I would not use them again!. As far as another tatoo!. It would be no problem, once you are treated and the infection is gone then you are back to normal!. So don't worry about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
